AccuVein Releases AV400 Vein Illumination System

AccuVein just announced its new vein illumination device, the AV400. Working on the same infrared detection and light projection technology as before, the new model was designed to be easier to use from different angles, can be activated with a single button, and includes a hands-free mode to allow clinicians to perform guided IV starts and blood draws.

The AV400 can visualize veins up to 10mm deep and has an inverse mode that changes the illumination to its negative for a different perspective when looking for hard to spot veins.

It is handheld and lightweight, weighing only 9.7 ounces (275g), and easily converts to hands-free with the use of optional wheeled or fixed stands. The medical grade design allows the device to be easily wiped clean, bagged for use in isolation, and does not require calibration as it is permanently aligned. The easy to use AV400 can be held in any direction above the vein being viewed. Universal and inverse modes make the AV400 useful on a variety of patient types. With center line accuracy to the width of a human hair, the AV400 can detect veins up to 10 mm deep. More effective venipuncture procedures with less patient discomfort result in higher patient satisfaction, making it clear why many facilities have chosen to incorporate AccuVein into their standard of care.
